Eastern Province (EP) A<\/strong> bounced back from a shock loss to Southern Gauteng A on Friday to win their semi-final at the SASHOC National Week<\/strong>, on Hilton College<\/strong>‘s Mansergh Astro,<\/strong> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

With a place in the final on the line, EP was on their game from the first whistle and kept Boland in check throughout.<\/p>\n

Goals from standouts Lucy Holderness<\/strong>, who has six for the tournament, and Iminathi Rungqu<\/strong>, who has five, sealed a 2-0 victory and Eastern Province’s place in the title game.<\/p>\n

They’ll face a KZN Coastal A <\/strong>team, which has won every game they’ve played, in the final. After their clean run through their group, Coastal followed up with a 3-1 win over Western Province A<\/strong> in their semi-final.<\/p>\n

Charley-Rose Boyall<\/strong> continued her fantastic tournament form with a brace, which leaves her on top of the goal scoring chart alongside Southern Free State<\/strong>‘s Marichelle Crous<\/strong>, with seven. Teagan Williamson<\/strong> also netted for the local side, while Jamie Gall<\/strong> replied for Province.<\/p>\n

Third in 2024, KZN Coastal meets the defending champion, Eastern Province, on Sunday for the title at 10:20 on the Mansergh Astro.<\/p>\n

Boland A<\/strong> and Western Province A<\/strong> will meet in the third-place playoff. Both ended the pool stage in second place in their pools and clashes between the neighbours are usually very keenly contested.<\/p>\n

KZN Inland A<\/strong> and Northern Gauteng A<\/strong> will battle it out for fifth place.<\/p>\n

In the cross-pool playoffs, Inland shocked Southern Gauteng A, who were confident after an upset of Eastern Province, scoring a memorable 2\u20131 win, thanks to goals from Taslyn van Wyk<\/strong> and Owami<\/strong> Mthethwa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Northern Gauteng A edged out Southern Free State A 2\u20131, with Aphelele Mbatsha<\/strong> and Lenique Vogel <\/strong>scoring for the winners, and Marichelle Crous replying for the Free Staters. Vogel’s goal was her fifth of the event.<\/p>\n

The losses for Southern Gauteng A and Southern Free State A leaves them to meet for seventh place.<\/p>\n

In other matches, Boland B<\/strong> edged out Eastern Gauteng A 2<\/strong>\u20131, while\u00a0KZN Coastal B<\/strong> outlasted Southern Gauteng B<\/strong>, winning a tense penalty shootout 3-2 after their match had ended 1\u20131 in regulation time.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
